The display is very dim, impossible to view in sunshine. So suggest you try at low light level. If recording there should be a flashing red dot at top left of display.You need a fast SD card suggest class 10. If you see a blue screen with card error cycle power and try again.Also you might dig down through menus and format card If card is not responding or try another SD card.Make sure power is connected and that internal battery is charged.Good luck

All I did on mine was just plug it in to the recorder. You could test it, plug it in turn the recorder on to record, say (testing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) stop the recorder hit play, if you hear the test it worked if not you need power.

It looks like the only recording file types are AVCHD and MP4. You would have to convert one of these file types to .mov

I had the same experience. I ordered one Creative Vado 3rd Generation camcorder early last week. After inserting the battery in the correct orientation and charging it overnight, I disconnected the camcorder from the USB cable, and the camcorder would not power on. The screen stayed completely blank. So, I returned it and ordered a second unit. It arrived late last week. Lo and behold, charged it overnight, unplugged it from the computer USB charging cable, pressed the on/off switch and ... nothing. Nada. Blank. Two new units, both dead on arrival. The quality of this product is just terrible.

I am still working on trying to record something. Not enough information on how to operate it.

Could be several things, camera not working or hooked up, how about common ground, use the 2sd video to test for bad input fault. Sorry can't think of anything else.

I would call the company & try to get another one, or just buy another system. I record my video on my desktop computer. Much easier to work with, never look at my recorder video.

I think if the little red light is blinking it should be recording. Make sure to land it safely, otherwise I think it doesn't keep the recording. I haven't use the camera much because the quality isn't as good as I had hoped. Good luck.

Sorry, can't help, have not tried to record with this machine. But there is a record button on the remote, so you must be able or that would not be there. Make sense.

Richard,I have the same problem with mine and the only way I was able to fix it is to remove the battery. Also make sure you format the SD card which I have done when the screen goes black and the unit turn off. Read more about the problem in this website. Lots of information regarding dash cam. http://dashcamtalk.com/I ended up buying a G1W and been very happy with it. It is cheaper than the DVR207.

I do apologize for the inconvenience but it seem like the dash cam is not functioning correctly. I recommend sending the unit back to us by logging into your Amazon account and requesting an exchange for a new DVR 207.

There is a small LED on the top of the box. It lights green when you first turn it on, then shuts off (to confirm it is activated). Thereafter, it stays off while recording. It lights amber when you press the button to cease recording.

I decided to call Panasonic tech support and ask. Unfortunately, I won't be able to try this myself for a day or so (out of town), but maybe you can give their suggestion a go: She said to hold down the "1" button and the "Enter" button at the same time for at least 10 seconds while pointing at the unit and that should reset the remote. ("Enter" being the round button between the arrows.) I asked what caused it, and she said "nothing you did." Funny. UPDATE: This worked! I now have a working remote. Woo hoo. Now I just have to figure out how to record something.

Have you try a different SD card? After you re-insert the SD card; did you un-plug and re-plug the power? If you have tried all of the above, and it still doesn't record; the unit might be defective. Please email us at customersupport@cavalrystorage.com so that we can swap out with a new unit for you.

The recorder is a piece of trash. Mine worked exactly once. I can't believe Sony actually put their name on it. Look elsewhere if you need something you can rely on.
